July 2017 Interviews

Michael Pento

July 30, 2017 - Gold Setting Up for Huge Spike Higher - Financial analyst and money manager Michael Pento says, “I think it is setting up for a huge spike higher. I don’t think the time for that to start is exactly now, but the gold market is catching a bid here. The big boom in gold and gold mining shares will be when we have a watershed moment, when the market realizes in mass the central banks have lost control of the economy and the money supply. That is coming very, very soon, no later than the middle of 2018, and it could probably happen this fall, and that is when the market understands that central banks don’t really control interest rates. They cannot control the long end of the yield curve, and they will destroy economic growth and stock markets across the world. That is the big moment when you want to pile into gold. If you don’t have any gold, you should have at least 10% always. That’s your base level. Hard assets will go through the roof.”

July 19, 2017 - We Need Our $40 Trillion In Stolen Cash Back - Renowned financial expert Catherine Austin Fitts warns there is not much time left for the current system. Fitts contends, “We have built an infrastructure that doesn’t make economic sense, and we are going to have to change. What’s happening in state and local budgets is the same thing that is happening in health care. It’s the same thing happening in all these different areas, which is we have engineered government investment to prop up the stock market. Washington, D.C., is basically run for the political campaign contributions generated from capital gains in the stock market. The problem is, to get that rise in the equity markets, we’ve ended up pumping out enormous amounts of government debt and government money that has a negative return for taxpayers. It’s not sustainable, and the game is up. I’ve been telling you for 15 years we were going to have a slow burn. I am telling you that’s over, and we are now into controlled demolition.”

July 16, 2017 - If the Fed Stops Juicing Markets It’s Over - Analyst/trader Gregory Mannarino says the Federal Reserve just did an about-face on raising interest rates in a matter of weeks. Mannarino contends, “This is incredible and hard to get my head around. This has got to be the flip-flop of all flip-flops. At the last FOMC meeting, Janet Yellen was practically pounding the table talking about how they were going to be continuing to raise rates, that they are going to start unloading their balance sheet here, and then she does an absolute 180. I am sitting there in real time watching it (this past week). My face dropped, and the moment I heard this, I started buying everything I could. I thought this is it. The market is going to keep going higher. The Federal Reserve has created a freaking monster. These distortions are now going to get much worse because Janet Yellen has given these markets the green light to go record up, record up and record up.”

July 12, 2017 - BILL HOLTER & LYNETTE ZANG - Making Madoff Blush: How You've Been Deceived by The New World Incestuous Banking Scheme! - For the first time, The Maestro brings together two market analyst titans, Bill Holter and Lynette Zang, to the table to discuss Janet Yellen, monetary policy, principles of finance, a declining dollar, crypto currencies, the future of pensions, precious metal hedges, How to diversify your precious metals holdings is also a main topic of discussion by these recognized experts in precious metals and analyses both the qualitative and quantitative views on holding gold and silver safely. Lynette provides many charts to highlight the precarious state of global markets and the US Dollar.

July 9, 2017, - Cryptos Are Speculation Not Currency - Keven Lawton is a tech entrepreneur with 10 startups under his belt. He is also an expert in crypto currencies and sees a Bitcoin civil war coming soon. Lawton says, “In Bitcoin, there are huge scalability issues in terms of transaction speed. It’s been ongoing for years now. There is a set of ideas from the developers on how to fix this, and there is a set of ideas from the miners and payment transactors on how to go about fixing this So, what’s going to happen? Lawton says there could be Bitcoin selling before the two ideas launch. Lawton explains, “When the split happens, you effectively have the blockchain go down in two different directions. You can think about your crypto coins existing on both paths at the same time. It can create a lot of havoc. If it happens in a short time frame, and there is a big winner and everyone gets behind it, the blockchain reorganizes itself and goes down the same path and you are fine. If it doesn’t happen in a short amount of time, some really bad things can happen. You can get double spend issues with your coin. You can have this thing called ‘reorganization,’ which can disappear your transactions. I anticipate people who have big money at play are probably going to want to liquidate their Bitcoin ahead of the potential fork nightmares .There is the possibility of liquidations.”

July 1, 2017 - Next Market Meltdown Means Frozen Financial System - Market analyst Lynette Zang has deep Wall Street experience and is starting to see a worse setup than just before the 2008 market meltdown. Zang explains, “The dollar is weak. All that is dog and pony. The real thing is they can’t stimulate the economy by growing any more debt. The system is based on compounding debt. So, it has to reset, and any wealth that is in the system gets reset too. They can keep the game going until confidence is lost. Once confidence is lost, it’s over, and I do think it’s close; the big kahunas are sucking as much wealth out of the system as they can.” How close are we to another market meltdown worse that 2008? Zang says, “Every week I do an insider’s trading corner, and I show you what the insiders are doing generally, and then I do an individual stock. It’s pretty obvious the insiders are getting out in droves. This is the second most expensive stock market in history. It’s more expensive than 1929. Also, there are no buyers on the other side of this market if a lot of people want to sell at the same time.”
